dnt wana over revise and end up learning nothin cos ive overdone it
Answers:
Hour wise? Do it like a job so no more than 6-8 effective hours a day and plenty of time to recuperate;
Effective means deep learning: you should know and understand your topic thoroughly on an intellectual level and try to plot out the connections between different topics, understand the exam itself and how you need to answer questions and have practiced them.
Then actual revision of key topics should be intense and focussed. Additional revision notes should be vivid and evocative. Use pictures, colour and few words for memorisation. For example I lucked out and had a paper by Gerrard so I had my picture of the God of football, then I had to know what the basics were: got that understood and found a picture to go with it: picture and then a picture of the subject and very short text phrase, in red to go with Gerrard, cut and pasted it and there was the connection, made and cemented. 36 of those and I had all the sources for one paper and the connections 100% ready. There is really no excuse for people saying they are "revising" when they are simply re-reading classnotes or books you already understand.
The time taken to actually revise was then just a matter of writing practice questions and reviewing the picture sheets. Then get plenty of sleep between periods of checking yourself.I only got a 2:1 even so but then I'm pretty thick.
I used to do 2 hours at a time. I also found it more effective just before I went to bed. I found that I would remember it more in the morning.
I also found typing my notes up on the computer helped.
